There are some instances on record of ships existing in the human family persons ho are entirely dissimilar in thought, nature, habit, taste and con- geniality, sometimes form the strongest and most lasting attachments for each other. We heard of an instance the other day, however, of as strange and apparently as warm an affection exist Ins between two of the animal creation as ever existed among the animals of a higher order. gentleman whose rep utation for yeracity is unquestioned was our informant, and did he not stand so high in this respect, we would scarcely have given credence to his story as it is, however, we were forced to believe what he told us. His story in substance was about as follows: There was neigh Dor of his living in the foothills of the White Mountains, who lost young pup, some three or four months old, almost q year ago Some three months since he discovered his dog in company with large lynx, apparently as we'll satisfied ds could be with his comrade. The gen. tleman kept quiet and watched to see how things would turn out The two were gone for couple of hours, when they returned to the lai: of the lynx-che latter having almost full grown sheep in his strong jaws. The loser of the dog kept sharp look out, and on the third day, they again sallied out, but did not return, until it was so dark they could not be seen. Since then he has seen them several times together, and % have others III the neighborhood who went to his cabin. Their place of refuge and concealment being in cliff of rocks al- most in front of the door and across a deep and rugged canyon, some two or three hundred yards from the house. This is certainly one of the most unac- countable instances of uncongenial friendship we have ever heard of
The St. Johns herald., 1887-05-19

We clip the following item, which will prove entertaining to most of our read CTS, from the Albuquerque Democrat:
 Sol Earth, who was convicted of forg- ing county warrants at St. Johns last month and sentenced to ten years III the Yuma penitentiary, has filed q motion for all appeal to the Supreme Court at rhenix, but as the Court has deferred the hearing of argument on the motion until next July, he will enjoy the hospi- tality of the territory for at least two months longer. Fromall reports it ap- pears that as convict, tine lines of the festive Sol have not fallen into the most unpleasant places. It IS said that the wa den of the penitentiary was BaIth's s colleague in q former Session of the Ari- zoaa legislature, that they were boon comparisons, and that the !mprlsonment of the convicted fOrger IS but a name. fhe story is current that no key has been turned upon Sol. since he was con signed as q prisoner to his friend, the warden, but he is permitted to go and come at his own sweet will, boarding with a pleasant family outside of the prison walls, ana being privileged to oc-
  only keeping the form of spending his nights within the penitentiary. If this be true Mir. Earth Is certainly the most fortunate prisoner ever sentenced 10 i'm prisonment on conviction oi crime, and judging by reports regarding certain epi- sodes Oi his defense during the prog: ess of his trial it would be we'll for the ac- comnodating warden to take reef in the lines of his prisoners latitude, about the time the supreme court reaches the consideration of his appeal.
 If this is the kind of punishment the warden metes to his friends, we would like to call him by that name, if we should ever be 50 unfortunate as to be consigned to his care for safe keeping. The punishment of Mr. Earth according to the above is no hardship at all. In fact he is more pleasantly situated than if he were in St. Johns, being on the line of the Southern Pacific railroad he is within reach of fresh fruit, vegetables and other luxuries that are raised in that favored cline. If this report be true, Apache county had better send her next convicts to the summer resort of Santa Monica, or to the Filth Avenue Hotel in New York. Such part:ality is not going to suit the people of this coun- ty, and is not what they expect. Sol barth was fairly and impartially tried and convicted of heinous crime, and is now a convict serving out ten years sentence. If the Territory is under any obligations to Mr. Earth, whereby he is to be made an exception to other con victs confined in the Territorial prison, We would suggest that he be transported from Yuma to the Palace Hotel in San Francisco.

W. S. Hill & Co, the heaviest and most prominentlumber men of the coun- ty have received orders from $. B. Be- vens, special agent of the Interior De- pertinent to stop cutting timber on gov ernment land. This order, ii adhered to by the government, will work great hardship on the denizens of Apache county. We are so remote from the railroad and freigbtage is so outrageous ly extortionate on the Atlantic and Pa cific road, that our people will be unable to either build houses, fence their land, or make any other improvements. We think, if our situation was properly un- derstood at Washington, the DO %ers that be would rescind the order, at least. so far as this county is concerned.

The PhRnix Gazette pays our new Chef Justice the following compliment in which we heartily concur: "Chief Justice Wright, since his arrival in this Territory, has held term of court in both Yavapai and Apache counties; his fine judicial bearing upon the bench has won for hlm commendation from both bar and htigants-quiet, unobtrusive and learned in his profession, he stands in marked contrast to many who have heretofore held presidential commissions to the same position in Arizona The bar unite in praise of his keen sense of justice, legal ability and eminent judi cial qualities"

There must be something wrong with the "boys." We. have not heard of any horses having been stolen for a week or more. Our enterprising "rustlers" must all be at the other end of the line, blow ing in the proceeds of what horses they have stolen heretofore. The stockmen of the county had better keep a sharp look out This unprecedented calm in the horse stealing line, may portend a heavy business in the near future.

This section of country. according to the ,proverhial oldest settler, has not been so dry for the past twenty years. Water holes, lakes that were thought to he permanent; and even springs that were never known to fail. have gone dry. What our stock will do for water and grass, unless nature comes to our relief, it is impossible to tell. Losses will, we are afraid, be very great.

 Many diseases, especially those of the ner- vous system, arc the products of daily re- newed mental exhaustion. Business avoca- tions often involve an amount o fmental wear and tear very prejudicial to physical health, and the professions, ifarduuusly pursued, are no less destructive to braia and nerve tissue. 1t is one of the most important attributes of Hostetter's Stomach BitIers, that it cOnpen- sates for this undue loss ftissue, and that it imparts new energy to the brain and nerves. The rapidlty with which itrenews weakened mental energy and physical vitality Is re- markable. and shows that its insigorafing properties are of the ghest order. Besides increasing vital Stamina, and cOunteraciing the effects of mental eXhaustiOn, this potential medicine cures and prevents fever and ague, rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia and cOnsti. patton, kidney and uterine weakness and other complaints. Physicians also commend it as meGlcated stimulsut and remedy.
